Health Screenings

Talk to your primary care physician about scheduling these important wellness screenings.

Preventive health screenings are key to detecting diseases before you have symptoms.

Screening tests can find diseases early, when they're easier to treat. Schedule your screening or speak with your CHI Saint Joseph Medical Group primary care provider to learn more about each type of health screening.

CHI Saint Joseph Health Foundations provides free screenings and other assistance for eligible individuals experiencing financial barriers. Ask us for more information when you call to schedule your screening.

Request an appointment with a primary care provider online or call 859.313.2255.

*The American Cancer Society recommends at age 25 and through age 65, all people with a cervix should have a primary HPV test* every 5 years. If a primary HPV test is not available in your area, then acceptable options include a co-test (an HPV test done at the same time as a Pap test) every 5 years or a Pap test alone every 3 years. (*A primary HPV test is an FDA approved test that is done by itself for screening.) The most important thing to remember is to get screened regularly, no matter which test you get.
